Lieutenant Danenhover Commits Suicide.
Lieut. John w. Danenhower, OF Arctic
fame was discovered at 10 O'Clock last
Wednesday 20 inst, near by his quarters
ut the naval academy Annapolis NJ d., with
IL bullet hole in right temple. tag tied
to his button-holes said: "Send to my broth.
er at Washington" Although he had
had mental troubles since he returned from
the Arctic regions, what immediately led
to the suicide is thought to have been the
recent grounding OF the Constellation. OF
which he had charge, on it's way to Nor
folk, and for which it is supposed he had "a
fear OF being court-martialed. Further
young Robert w. Gatewood, OF the
naval academy. who recently committed
suicide on the steamer Carolina and whom
he saw in death. 1t is supposed that this
death suggested the mode to him. His vile
is absent with her parents at Oswego, NY.
Lieut.. Danenhower was an intelligent and
polished officer.
The news created sensation in the navy
and was subject OF general
among the officers and en-
poyes, who recalled certain incidents in the
past life OF the lieutenant in explanation OF
his suicide. A few days ago he was at Nor
folk, Va, looking alter the equipment OF the
practice ship Cons stellation, and it is now
recalled dy officers who met him at the ma
Wy yard that he was very morose and dis
traught, and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed hat he was suffering from an at
tack OF his old malady. Not the slightest
doubt is felt at the department OF his in
sanity when he took his life, as he was very
happy in all his domestic relations, and
his future prospects were OF the brightest.
Lieut.. Danenhower was born 81 years
ago in Illinois, and entered the naval ser.
vice in 1866. He was among the first OF
the office who volunteered to 60 upon the
jeanette Arctic expedition. On July J.,
1879 the Jeanette sailed from San Fran
cisco on a North Polar expedition by way
of Behring strait. The crushing OF the
Jeanette in the pack ice, the separation in
a gale OF the three boats containing the
officers and crews, the starvation OF Cap
tain De Long and the boats crew, the loss
of Lieut.. Chipp's boat and the terrible
sufferings and final rescue OF Melville's
party, are matters OF history.
Mr.. Alexander Sullivan said in Chicago:
Lord Harrington has become p monoma-
MAC and is evidently prepared to believe
any falset God, however preposterous, on
account OF the death of his brother, Lord
Frederick Cavendish. l knowju just rs much
and just as little about the Phoenix Park
affair as Lord Harrington himself, and in
that respect am in precisely the same po-
sition as Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. Egan, Mr.. Bren-
nan and others of the National league
whose names have been untruthfully con.
nected with it. So far as Lord Cavendish
was concerned, Mr.. Parnell perfectly ex-
pressed my views. Concerning Burke,
while | was as ignorant OF the intended as
sault upon him, and US totally disconnect-
ed from it, am not so hypocritical as to
profess any sympathy with the man.
Americans will understand this when add
that he held in Ireland u worse Gf possible)
attitude to the people than the chief fiend

prisoners in those dens. All that Wirz
was, Burke was and more. He was spy
and traitor. He visited prisoners in

might be twisted into evidence to convict
them. His motive was to retain his Office
